Trusting God, Not Violence - Anabaptist (Proverbs 3:5-6)

When early Anabaptists were persecuted, the world's logic said: fight back, arm yourselves, resist with force. Their own understanding would have justified violence. But they trusted God's way—nonresistance, enemy love, the cross. "Lean not on your own understanding." Their understanding said survival required swords; they trusted the One who said to turn the other cheek. Many died. But their witness endured. Trusting God sometimes means refusing what "makes sense" to the world.
